If you thought Leeds United would meander to mid-table finish during the final couple of weeks of the Championship season, then think again.

The Whites have only two games left of what has been a disappointing campaign out on the grass, but off-the-pitch matters are dominating the news agenda this week, following the club's announcement that they will be heading to Myanmar for a pair of end-of-season friendlies next month.

Reaction to this is still pouring in, with Andrea Radrizzani yesterday writing an open letter in response to a lengthy amount of critics, including fans, activists, Amnesty International and Shadow Cabinet ministers.

Expect more movement on that today, plus we'll be hearing from Paul Heckingbottom who will be holding his pre-Norwich press conference this morning.

A lot of ground was covered - Hernandez, Myanmar, transfer plans, Saiz, Pearce, injuries and more. One for the journey home, or better still, one to read now if you’re pretending to do work this afternoon.

Elsewhere in the Championship, already-relegated Sunderland have yet more problems.

Trouble at Brum?

Birmingham Live report that new Birmingham City and four members of Garry Monk’s backroom staff are being sued by Middlesbrough.

Monk was last month handed the reigns at St Andrew’s, along with his backroom team of first team coach James Beattie, head of performance Sean Rush, head of analysis Ryan Needs and goalkeeping coach Darryl Flahavan, who were all placed on gardening leave by Boro following Monk’s sacking last December.

They quit the club to join Monk at City, but Boro are aruging that clauses in their contracts mean that they are not allowed to work with each other under Monk at another Championship side before December 28.

QPR light at the back?

Leeds face QPR a week on Sunday in their final match of the season and the Hoops have been forced to act on a lack of numbers between the sticks.

Ian Holloway’s side have had to call Joe Lumley back from his loan spell at Blackpool following a head injury to Matt Ingram.

“Joe’s had a massive impact on the team and, in my opinion, he has all the attributes to go far in the game,” said Blackppol boss Gary Bowyer after seeing Lumley keep nine clean sheets in his 18 appearances since his January move. “He’s a fantastic lad and he goes back to QPR with our very best wishes.”

Hull veteran up for grabs?

Hull City goalkeeper Allan McGregor’s contract is up at the end of the season and Scotlan boss Alex McLeish believes that the stopper has plenty left to offer.

“He was in excellent form in the Hungary game and his training throughout that double header was of a really high standard,” said the former Aston Villa chief.

“Some goalkeepers have gone on to 40. From what I have seen in his training and his expertise in that game, it just tells you experience is forever. I think he has got plenty of mileage in him right now.”

While Leeds are likely to make changes in their goalkeeping corps in the summer, Rangers are understood to be in talks with McGregor over a return to Ibrox.

Hernandez signs new deal

Heckingbottom due up later this morning

We’ll be hearing from Leeds United boss Paul Heckingbottom this morning, as he will be hosting his pre-Norwich City press conference at 11am.

We’ll be at Thorp Arch to see exactly what he has to say there - and it’ll be good to get back to footballing matters.

Radrizzani's former agency raided

In case the uproar over the Myanmar trip wasn’t enough, Andrea Radrizzani also yesterday saw the offices of a sports agency he co-founded raided by officials from the European commission investigating sports rights cartels, according to reports.

The Leeds United owner co-founded MP & Silva in 2004 and drove its rapid growth for more than a decade until he stepped back from its day-to-day operation in May 2016.

Radrizzani scaled back his ownership share of the agency, which specialises in media rights distribution, to a combined 35 per cent with co-founder Riccardo Silva.

Morning all

Greetings everyone and welcome to another busy day of Leeds United updates.

For a club heading towards the most mid-table of mid-table finishes with only two games remaining, Leeds are sure keeping the headline writers busy this week.

The shockwaves from Monday’s announcement that the club will be heading to Myanmar after they complete their Championship season against QPR next month are still being felt, while the offices of a sports agency Andrea Radrizzani co-founded were yesterday raided by officials from the European commission investigating sports rights cartels, according to reports.

So there’s plenty to going on, it’s fair to say.

Buckle up and we’ll get cracking with all of today’s news as it happens.
